Avenue Gallery is my favourite gallery in Victoria, so when we renovated our house I looked there for the perfect piece of art for a feature wall in our home. I found the perfect painting, which the gallery owner, Heather, personally came and hung for us. Having Heather come in person to our home means a lot to us, so that this special painting by Shinah Lee is perfectly placed in its feature location. The pieces that Heather chooses for her gallery are unique and inviting. there is no pressure to buy - just super welcoming people and exceptional art in paint, glass, pottery, sculpture and jewellery. This gallery has it all!

Honestly I think everyone in the world needs to see this Yukon artists exhibit To Talk with Others. It is a very emotional powerful beautiful brutal real direct and moving collection of artworks that I shall never forget. It engaged me in a way I have never experienced before. It is a hard look at what our imperialist regime has brought to this land and the peoples that have lived and honoured this land for so many generations before we brought our cruelty, destruction and death to them. The works are done in a variety of media and both whisper and demand attention. I feel very fortunate to have seen and felt this exhibit.
